I hear you on the need for something that breaks the genres, but you know that's a bit on the implausible side of things, as an expectation. There hasn't been anything that radical for a few years now (not to say someone won't come up with something truly original ever again), so really what I might suggest is a lateral step into a game type that you might have never played or wouldn't think to play. If you have been an action gamer or an RPG fan, get off those rails or try a different flavor.
I never see "IL*2 Sturmovick" listed in people's collections... it's an air combat game, but what I think makes it unique is it's attention to detail and the ability to make all of the mechanics and enemy AI so realistic you'll gain a new respect for pilots of the era as well as becoming a much more skilled pilot yourself.
Get the "Sega Collection", and go old-school.
"Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3", or "R.U.S.E." RTS.
Have you ever played "Metal Gear Solid" or "Castlevania SotN" on PSOne Classic. Those games are GREAT action/ adventure games no matter how old they get.
If you can't find anything in the present or future, I'm sure there are plenty of games in the past you haven't gotten through yet.
:D

Haha I actually own every version of Metal Gear Solid except the PS1 Greatest Hits version, along with all the sequels. And I own a copy of IL*2 Sturmovick and the Genesis Collection and have beaten SotN. But maybe I will try Red Alert. Thanks for the suggestions, you have a good taste in games.
